Quoth Jester View PostI hope they run their car right into a utility pole at 80 mph.
Sorry, but if the situation involves people with red/white/blue flashing lights and/or guns, your needs get trumped. Always. Discussion closed."If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HM

Quoth Crossbow View PostSorry, Jester, but I have a problem with that. Don't you dare take out my internet that way. Have them hit a bridge abutment. Much less collateral damage.

I am, admittedly, rather biased with the ambulance question, as I watched my father get taken away in one in 1980. He died five months later, never returning to our home. I was 10. So, YEAH, I kind of am VERY FUCKING BIASED about the issue of pulling over or not for am ambulance. I KNOW what it feels like to be on the other end, as a family member. (While it probably did not take the ambulance that long to get to our hose that October day, to us, it felt like an eternity. And while I often can't remember things from last week, last month, or last year, I remember THAT day VERY clearly.)
Hypothetical Manager: "Why were you late?"
Me: "I had to pull over to let an ambulance by."
Hypothetical Manager: "That's no excuse."
Me: "Tell that to the family of the person that needed the fucking ambulance."
I will gladly lose a job over shit like this, because shit like this is simply the right thing to do, and anyone who doesn't see this needs to have a date with a rabid hungry wolf.

If I'm there with my ambulance on a call, even of my partner is taking lead I'm there to back them up. Try to give me a phone to talk to a person who has NOTHING to do with the patient in front of me and you will at a minimum get a look and at worse some not so nice words. Anyone who comes out of that ambulance has a job to do, we are are not just "standing by" while on scene. Don't add your work problems to ours just because you don't want to deal with a customer.

Quoth bunnyboy View PostJester, seriously I know emotions are running high and all, but what did the wolves ever do to you, even rabid and hungry ones deserve something better than that.
Quoth PepperElf View PostI also do it for funerals too.

Quoth PepperElf View PostI also do it for funerals too.Quoth Jester View PostI don't pull over for funerals, but I don't not pull over for funerals. ... I certainly would never cut them off, as I've seen done by yet more jackholes.
When my father was buried in Tallahassee, FL, my wife was impressed at how all of the traffic pulled over when the funeral procession passed. Street construction workers even stopped working and took off their hats. We don't see that in the DC area."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."
